What happened: Greenberg communicated his decision directly to the Red Wings, citing his commitment to what he started with the Tigers. He remains in the baseball role he has held since 2023.

Why it matters: The exit narrows Detroit's candidate pool ahead of the 2026-27 season. The incoming executive will take over a franchise that has missed the playoffs for 10 consecutive seasons.

By the numbers: Greenberg, 40, has spent three seasons as Tigers general manager.

What to watch: The Red Wings now turn to their remaining candidates with training camp approaching.
